At
the end of Part 2, we left poor Lady Edith at the altar.Sadly, we were not the first to do so.Now, it’s time to take a look at Lady Mary’s
most beautiful clothes (I've saved the best for last!) and relive one of her most beautiful moments, as we conclude
our tour of the Costumes of Downton Abbey
at the magnificent Winterthur Museum.

It was a dark and stormy night………..just
kidding!..........actually, it was a cold and rainy morning as we three ladies
piled into Earline’s SUV to begin our journey across three States.No sooner had we buckled our seat belts than
the rain had turned to sleet.But we
were prepared for any eventuality; we had packed bottled water, trail mix and
lots and lots of chocolate.

And suddenly, there it was.The skies had cleared, and its lofty spires
glinted in the sunlight before us.We
had reached our destination – Downton Abbey!!
